The Celso Family.
Introduction.
The Celso family is an old gypsy family stretched far and wide through both Montania and Vulturo, most active in the county of Valle di Rovigo in Montania. The family has strong Dressolini roots, but have branches stretching as far as Gallovia. They identify with their nomadic travelling culture more than anything else. The main branch of the family breeds and sells horses, but the men often cheat and scam and it is not uncommon for the women to become dancers. The family does not have heraldry, banners or sigils as they've never had a particular use for them--they do however have a motto: "Gypsy gold does not chink and glitter, it gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark." a reference to the importance of horses in their culture.
Upbringing.
Children of the Celso family are often told by their parents tales of magic and mysticism, of dragons and great warriors and incredible journeys across Aloria, they are great lovers of vocal tradition and boast a great many story tellers and bards. It is not uncommon for young adults to leave the safety of the troupe and travel the archipelago before returning to their family. Due to the sporadic nature of the family and how it is split between two separate provinces upbringing tends to be quite different depending on the troupe. They often do not attend school of any kind with few exceptions, nor do they ever live in one place for too long, moving at the very least three times a year and living on horse back and caravan. They are often taught dressolo and commons by their parents and some children are even taught to read and write if their parents know how.
Children are often taught to hunt, trap and gather by there parents as well as how to farm fowl as a quintessential part of their way of life, some children are taught to wield swords on horseback and on foot, typically in the style of Stealthmark. It has been rumoured that there are a great many mages in the Celso family, not that this has been proven of course.
Traits.
The majority of the family have curly brown hair, rarely blonde, that they tend to grow out. All members of the family have bright hazel eyes, sometimes even appearing orange-ish or green in the sun. Celso men tend to be quite tanned and traditionally handsome, albeit with rather feminine features at times.
